Before the ball starts rolling. the Bernabéu came alive in celebration of Benzema and Courtois for his best player and best goalkeeper awards. A party that lasted on the pitch with a superb start from Ancelotti’s men, putting pressure on the defense of a Sevilla team more feared than a bad bullfighter. As a result of white pressure and Andalusian errors, it is 1-0 in Modric in the sixth minute after a great pass from Vinicius. The party is in full swing at the Bernabéu, ready to see a new victory for Real Madrid against Sevilla who played without a center forward, with Isco acting as a false ‘nine’. A style of play that made life easy for the whites who were able to raise the defense in the middle of the field to put pressure on the opposition and steal balls easily. Real Madrid were very comfortable against Sevilla with only Lamela trying to do something in attack.

The real Madrid interrupted lines with the famous low block in which he is comfortable. That allowed Sevilla to live a relatively calm life. But it was only a little bit when Madrid pressed, scoring chances came. Praise, of lack, Modric and Vinicius they have the second goal, but the last two have the last dribble left. At 1-0, Real Madrid went into the break in control against a Sevilla side that didn’t put the resurgent Courtois to the test.

The second half started with the same scenario as the first, but Real Madrid looked superior as they relaxed and Sevilla took advantage of that to score 1-1 in the 54th minute. lick who took advantage of a good pass from Montiel behind the central defenders for Lamela, with great sense, to beat Courtois. From then on, an inaccurate Real Madrid rushed in, losing a lot of the ball and with Ancelotti furious on the sidelines seeing what was happening on the pitch. The match was evenly matched and Sevilla re-armed at 1-1 and victory no longer seemed impossible. All this, with some whistles in the stands for their game. Ancelotti removed an ill-advised Tchouaméni and brought in Camavinga to try to revive the white team. Sampaoli responded with Papu Gómez to help defend Vinicius and Rodrygo, Real Madrid’s most dangerous players who created a clear chance that the former missed.

Ancelotti decided to bring on Asensio, Lucas and Rüdiger at the same time, while Sampaoli decided that in the 76th minute it was the perfect time to bring on a center forward, Rafa Mir. Coincidence or not, after the changes came 2-1 for Real Madrid in the 79th minute. Rafa Mir lost the ball which ended at the feet of Asensio who gave it Vinicius which gave purpose to Luke. That goal killed Sevilla and revived Real Madrid who, in the 81st minute, scored 3-1 with another signature shot from Faith Valverde.
